Matte Woods Case,

Matte Woods, the colored woman who
stabbed George Green last Friday evening,
appeared in police court yesterday and Sc
cured a continuance until the Goth at p. m.
Shortly after her arrest Attorney Davis had
offered to quash the charge of assault with
intent to kill and change it to assault and
battery, he thinking at that time that Green g
wound was not fatal. She however, would
not hear to this thinking she would be
cleared of the first charge. Since then
Green's wound has grown worse and he is
thought to be in critical condition. Attorney
Davis now congratulates himself that the
first charge was not quashed.

Mr.. Krug and Politics.

In conversation with Mr. William Krug, OF
the F. Krug Brewing company, last evening,
he informed a reporter of the BEE that the

protection Of their interests they expected
their men to vote against any prohibition
measure, but that was all.

Lincoin's Reverence, for: Woman.

In the January Century Nicolay and

Of Lincoln's love affairs: upon a tenn

which was not perfectly happy would
be productive Of great misery. But
Lincoln seemed especially chosen to the
keenest suffering in such conjuncture.
The pioneer. as a rule, was comparative

In the death of General Loring ex-

Stonewall Jackson, whose services were
nearly lost to the Confederate govern

Confederate memories as the "Romney

Preachers in POlftics.

We are not in favor Of calling a con.
stitutional convention at this time. but Fl
such convention is called we have one
suggestion to make, and it is that the
section Of our old constitution which
prohibits ministers of the gospel cngag-
ing in politics, be re-enacted.
We yield to no one in reverance for
the Office of ministers Of the gospel. In
deed, their work is far too sacred and
highly exalted above other avocstions to
b" dragged into tho dubious paths of
politics. Although history tells of
States and Kingdoms that have failed to
survice a union between Chusch and
State, we see even in free America; and
stranger still. in South Carolina minis
ters who forsakc the work Of the Mas
ter to enjoy the honor Of their fellow
mcn-such honor as comes from hold
ing public Office. Quito number Of
ministers are members Of the present
legislature Of South Carolsna. From a
close observation Of the proceedings of
the late session, we say emphatically
that they are out Of place.-The lcg,s.
laturc is not the place for sermons al
though each Of the clerical legislators
have taken occasion to deliver sermons
at cost to the State Of from $500 to
$4O0 each. These mouthy members are
responsible for the hurried legislation
that always results when time ia wasted
in high-h irrelevant oratorv.
The work Of minister is Of greater
Importance even than that of q legislator
yet it is different, and We think aheuld
be performed separate and apart from
legislative work.-Laurens Advertiser.

A Horror OF the Rail.

TIFFlN, ONO, january 4.-The fast
train on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
which left New York about 8 o'clock
yesterday for Chicago, with five coaches
and four slecpcrs, all we'll filled with
passengers, colided with al eastern
bound freight train, seven miles cast Of
this city, about 4 o'clock this morning.
The fast train was about fifty minutes
late and was running at the rate Of sixty
rifles an hour. Passing Republic, small
station, like flash, it rushed along to a
curve one mile west Of that town, when
suddenly the engineer saw the freight
train under full Roadway within ono
hundred yards Of him. He at once
applied the brakes and reversed the
engine, but it did no good, and the next
instant the crash came, tclcscoping the
coaches and piling them up or each
other. 70 add CONSERVATION to the
horrible scene fire broke out in the
smoking car and soon spread to the other
cars. Many were killed outright, while
others, wcdged in among the broken
cars, were slowly consumed by the
flames.
The screams of tho wounded and
dying were heartrending, but no assis-
tance could be given until the farmers,
awakcd by the crash, came, and with
other neighbors worked like heroes to
save the pcrishing. At this writing
nineteen dead bodies have been re-
covered, and they lie burned and tlisfg-
urQd in the snow beside the track. Help
was sent frsm Republic and this city as
soon as the news was received. 1t is n
fearful sight and recalls the Ashtabula
horror Of the winter Of 1877.
The engines were run into each other
as one stove pipe fits into it's mate, and
all that could be seen was a chaotic
mass Of brass, iron and steel. At IN
early hour there were hundreds Of pco-
pie coming to the scene Of tho disaster,
ready and anxious to know what to do
and how they could help any Of the
unfortunate sufferers who might need
help, but it appears that just as soon as
the Baltimore and Ohio agents could get
to the work they carried out Of the
county the wounded, dying and dead.
1t is believed that there were at least
twenty two bodies. From the report of
n survivor it would appear that number
Of the unfortunates were so thoroughly
not burned that their remains could
be gathered from the debris Only three
survivors remain nt Republic. These are
Mrs. Mary Postlcthwaite and two young
children. Her husband and two sons,
aged eleven and eighteen, were killed.
They were emigrating from Belton,
Wetsell County, Va, to Chilicothe,
Missouri. In some way, even the moth
cr was unable to relate how, she got out
of the car in which she had been travel
ling, and, wandering away from the
burning train, carrying her two young
est children IN her arms, she entered
light. She was almost crazed, and with
difficulty her name was ascertained.
BALTIMORE, January 4.-The officials
Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad state
that the freight train collision was
caused by misunderstanding of orders
for the regulation Of one or other Of the
trains.
